This includes children with respiratory diseases such as pneumonia and bronchitis, enteric fever, sepsis, burns, dehydration, malnutrition… This inpatient department consists 50 beds in two shared wards and private rooms (cabins), but the hospital is aiming to expand its capacity to an additional 50 beds.
